There is no escape from dutch people on this continent

[rain nimbus]

Not from any continent

I've seen Instagram Stories from fucking Sri Lanka and Namibia

You can't escape

[tranquil smelt]

I shall move to mars

[rain nimbus]

Camping mars

[tranquil smelt]

Cool im on a replacement service

Cool i think i was supposed to be on a 175

But now im in a 150/2

Damm, i go to sleep with old interrail app layout, wake up with new one

Im in crewe, a departing 390 blocked my view of the heritage centre

A lot of people leave here, but a lot also join

The other side has some lovely old trains too

[tranquil smelt]

1v70

[next thorn]

It should have been a 67 + Mark 4s, but they're not in full service yet...

So a 150 is your replacement 😂

[tranquil smelt]

Noooooooo

I wanted to be on that

Fucking tfw

Aaaaaah

I wanted to be on the 67 mk4

[next thorn]

150s are better tho

[rain nimbus]

And you call me autistic..

[frosty ember]

[next thorn]

Is that not just an incel?

[frosty ember]

😂

Travel log, it’s the name of a channel somewhere where people just post their trips like Rico did here #1132907248721604649 message

[tranquil smelt]

Its not about the autism, its about the comfort

[rain nimbus]

You're just talking in numbers

[tranquil smelt]

This 150 is like an animal farm

[frosty ember]

lol

[tranquil smelt]

Its wadloper

Its like a wadloper

[rain nimbus]

That's good

The worse the better

[tranquil smelt]

I should be on a 153

@rain nimbus go to stourbridge town

You will see the peak of train stuff

There is nothing out there that is better than the train to stourbridge town

[rain nimbus]

What

[tranquil smelt]

Just follow my advice, you will love it

Its the most frequent service in the uk too

[rain nimbus]

I'll discuss my plans when we're in Plymouth

Because I'm not really sure what to do

North Wales is kinda annoying

[rain nimbus]

I love this

Thanks

[tranquil smelt]

What about this is average

[rain nimbus]

Just Jasper words

This is like me saying virm6zl

[tranquil smelt]

What i said has pretty much the same meaning

[rain nimbus]

Yes

But you're UK boy

[tranquil smelt]

Uk boy?

You want me to do this stuff for all my trains?

[rain nimbus]

What would really be nice is if you posted like

[tranquil smelt]

Cuz the only 2 countries where i dont know train numbers from the top of my head is france and italy

[rain nimbus]

9:47-12:11 IC9224 :TRAXX_NS: :icrmh: 7 Rotterdam Centraal - Brussel-Centraal

So we know what you're actually doing

[tranquil smelt]

No fuck you, this is too much

[rain nimbus]

Thus isn't

You only have to do the times and stations

07:05-8:27 Weert - Eindhoven

This took five seconds

[tranquil smelt]

I am not doing arrival time

[rain nimbus]

I'll do this I'll Plymouth

[tranquil smelt]

18:38 llandudno jnc. - crewe

Blij?

[rain nimbus]

Yes

But the arrival time shouldn't be extra effort

[tranquil smelt]

Yea it will be

Cuz im not 24/7 on da phonr

So i dont know my arrival time

I will just note the planned journey and dep time

And what about when im without internet

All those clouds are heading for manchester, like they should be

Some pretty good ones in there

[rain nimbus]

Well you know the planned arrival time before getting on tight

[tranquil smelt]

Class 99?

[tranquil smelt]

I tend to not know this

[rain nimbus]

Then you're stupid

[tranquil smelt]

I guess i am

But i know when to leave and where to transfer, and the arrival time at my final destination

[rain nimbus]

Hm

[tranquil smelt]

But the transfer being 2 or 20 min hardly makes a diffrence

In england, you most likely make em, in germany, you will most likely miss em

[rain nimbus]

In Germany all transfers are 5 or 55 minutes

Depends on if it's a knoop

This depends on if it's the same state I think

[tranquil smelt]

Deeside

I am deeside

I can feel the scouse

I am in chester

They have 3rd rail here

[next thorn]

Yeah, will be a 350/2, which are meant to be withdrawn soon ™️

So they didn't bother painting them...

[tranquil smelt]

[terse sparrow]

@rain nimbus you would love this

[rain nimbus]

What's going on

I'll experience fun in Plymouth I guess

[tranquil smelt]

No heart of wales line for me

So now im 832 shrewsbury - bham new st

[next thorn]

Nice pair of 158s

Although you're gonna be slightly late as the bit from Wrexham is slightly late.

[tranquil smelt]

I am not in a hurry

[next thorn]

Where you off to today?

[tranquil smelt]

Plymouth, originally via swansea but thats not riding

So im going via bournemouth

[next thorn]

There's a HST from Birmingham at 1112...

Ah, no, enjoy Bournemouth instead!

[tranquil smelt]

The hst is cool, but i think bournemouth might be cooler

[next thorn]

I have concerns the 1003 from New Street to Bournemouth may not run...

Unit currently only allocated between Manchester and Birmingham.

Yeah... it isn't

And I would recommend not travelling on the wedged 1103...

[tranquil smelt]

I assume thats a pscked 5 car voy?

[next thorn]

Probably a 4 tbf...

[tranquil smelt]

Yikes

[next thorn]

Actually, the 1103 is an 8-car

But, they're usually busy trains at the best of times..

And they've cancelled the one in front

[tranquil smelt]

I guess ill hst or something

Do some cornwall branches

Barnstaple and okehampton or something

[rain nimbus]

Why

[tranquil smelt]

Tvv

[rain nimbus]

Real?

[next thorn]

To add to that - Box closed due to staff sickness

[rain nimbus]

Until when?

Because then I'll have to change my plans

[next thorn]

As it stands, until 1800 today

But, there's potential it will last longer

[rain nimbus]

I meant the tvv

[next thorn]

Well, the bus replacement only lasts as long as the box is closed...

[rain nimbus]

Oh okay

That makes sense

[tranquil smelt]

Ill be going to okehampton out of pure boredom

I want something special, ill get something reasonably rare

1112 hst

[frosty ember]

Rare

You want this

[tranquil smelt]

Also shrewsbury is a nice place

[next thorn]

You don't want Heart of Wales TVV

[tranquil smelt]

Heart of wales tvv sounds like the ultimate bummer

Long, slow and you miss out on nice things

[next thorn]

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it there

@rain nimbus underground curved stations?

[rain nimbus]

Very nice

[rain nimbus]

This isn't really a good place

[tranquil smelt]

Its birmingham

What did you expect

Theyre contiously announcing platform alterations while most of them are empty

[rain nimbus]

This is good

Stations with constant announcements are cool

You can't really beat Brussel Zuid though

[tranquil smelt]

No you cant beat brussel south

[rain nimbus]

Quadrilingual announcements

But they also have announcements for like

A train arriving

When there's nothing special

[steep venture]

that was such a vibe

[next thorn]

Shithole

[next thorn]

There's two platforms out of action atm for works to the concrete, so they're amending the entire platforming plan

Currently P3 and P4 unavailable

[tranquil smelt]

I am happy ill be on a hst

Its getting really busy over there

No wait theyre waiting for this 3 car 170 that just rolled in

Man uk is fucked, hardly buying and diesel trains and not electrifying fast enough, while the electrics are pretty much ready to be passed down to the next company

[frail flower]

@tranquil smelt cant do this on HST ...

go windowhang voorstad treinen parijs.

[next thorn]

Aye, this is why we're scrapping 30 year old EMUs whilst we have DMUs that are nearly 40 years old (150s) still doing commuter trains in major cities

[tranquil smelt]

I shoukd

[rain nimbus]

This is possible?

[tranquil smelt]

Fuck hardly anyone got on the 170

[tranquil smelt]

You didnt know?

You can hang the rer

[next thorn]

Yeah, the 170 was only the Leicester stopper...

Not the most busy of train...

Meanwhile you're on a busy leisure train to the SW in peak holiday season

[rain nimbus]

Hn

[tranquil smelt]

Looks like ill be standin till exeter

Wait

There is a 8 car train to edinburgh too

Maybe theyll get on that

[next thorn]

Double Voyager

[tranquil smelt]

😬

[next thorn]

Oh damn, New Street are playing let's only use one platform again...

[tranquil smelt]

They havent used platform 10 in like an hour

And now 2 xc trains

[next thorn]

Yeah, they go through weird spells like this at New Street

They don't use a platform for 45 mins, then rattle 3/4 trains on it in quick succession, then repeat.

[tranquil smelt]

How to create platform crowding 101

[next thorn]

The issue they have is there's meant to be a 170 sat on it for 15 mins.

But it turned up late

New Street really needs a few bay platforms, but there's nowhere to put them.

[tranquil smelt]

The spare track at 9/10

Shorten 10, create bay where im standin

[next thorn]

There's meant to be a standby unit stabled there...

[tranquil smelt]

Is there ever?

[next thorn]

When XC don't have unit failures, yeah...

So atm, not very often 😂

[tranquil smelt]

Shit ton depots nearby

Why in the station

[next thorn]

Because the driver is at the station too

Rather than at Central Rivers

[tranquil smelt]

Here

Remove a bit of the platform, put in the bay

[next thorn]

Platforms too narrow and short, and the signal is in the way.

[tranquil smelt]

For the rescue

[next thorn]

Would still be too short for a Voyager tbf.

And then it can't go out to the North easily.

[tranquil smelt]

All these silly things, we dont even have rescue trains on standby

Right me hst here

[next thorn]

Its not even a rescue train.

It's a standby to recover the service.

[tranquil smelt]

We dont have that eitber

[next thorn]

The idea is it'll enter service in place of a heavily delayed/part cancelled train.

[next thorn]

Yes but your country is 150 miles across...

[rain nimbus]

Dude this regularly happens

Very often when they fuck the 800 in like Alkmaar they have a new one starting in Amsterdam or Eindhoven

[tranquil smelt]

In eindhoven? Nah man they just turn the last arrived 800 around

Boog isn't triangle

Boog is curve

[amber isle]

Ah fantastic

Trains usually wait there

Because Gloucester is a terrible layout

It's essentially 4 tracks down to 2 then to 3 then back to 2

Traksy has commit die

[tranquil smelt]

There is a 4 car voy, 2 car 158 and a 2 car 170 sharing a platform

We are probably reversin rn

[amber isle]

If you want to go to Birmingham yes you are

There is also a junction part way down platform 1/2 which is cool

[tranquil smelt]

4 car voy turned into 5 car iet

[tranquil smelt]

Unless theyre pulling a dirty ome om me

[amber isle]

I don't think they would pull a dirty on you

Timetabled as P7 but probably changed because of the platform closures

[tranquil smelt]

323 reversing out

[amber isle]

Beep beep beep

[tranquil smelt]

No doors

No platform alts

323 floored it out of new st

Late Pendolino, bad...

1.5 early at Soho South Junction, 3 late into BHM...

[tranquil smelt]

Damm what has it been doing

We leave 7 late

[next thorn]

Dw, you have time to make back.

You're booked slow lines all the way from Hanslope Jn to Euston, but there's sections where the Fasts are open, so you can go quicker.

You've already made back 90 seconds too

Then lost it immediately 😂

[tranquil smelt]

Brummy intl

[rain nimbus]

[tranquil smelt]

I could potentially be earlier home if i take ice to aachen

But this is riskt

The profit is only 30 min total

[rain nimbus]

hm

[tranquil smelt]

I saw a fox walking on the wembley subs

Which are also out of action todat

Thats why it didnt get electrocuted

Im euston

Time for the superloo

@rain nimbus i found a new pointless job
People pushing around bins at euston because there are no bins at euston

[amber isle]

Yeah but what if someone put a bomb in a bin

[tranquil smelt]

I put a paper bag with a bomb in the bin, set timer 5 min, get the tube and yeet the area, i will have accomplished the same + wasted extra tax money

Utter nonsense you brits

[tranquil smelt]

I hate eurostar

Very malafide

[keen arrow]

I agree, water is wet

[frail flower]

@tranquil smelt you should ge tout of eurostar in brussel and take eurosleeper to NL

ow sad it doesn't run berlin bound today....

[tranquil smelt]

Time is essential

I wake up early tomorrow

Important things to be done tomorrow

[amber isle]

Yeah but at least we paid some one to watch you do it

It's stupid

[tranquil smelt]

Someone who cant be arsed to remember my face, someone who cant pay enough attention to see me do it

Someone who will die by the bomb

[amber isle]

In STP there's absolutely no bins... Except in like a couple of coffee shops where there are bins which aren't even see-through

[amber isle]

Yes exactly

[tranquil smelt]

If i were to put a bomb in, and it would go off
The entirety of london if not the uk would go absolutely mad with rules

It will be impossible to do anything because of the amount of rules

A bomb in pancras would only have to survive like 4 hours, by that time, you could be in lille europe

(This is to highlight the inadequacies of the british system, i am not planning anything)

[tranquil smelt]

Wij zijn vroeg

[rain nimbus]

dan kunnen we de beste plekken uitzoeken

[tranquil smelt]

Ja

[rain nimbus]

ik vertrouw de ns en arriva trouwens echt niet

[tranquil smelt]

Heb je een andere keuze?

[rain nimbus]

er zijn weinig andere opties

[tranquil smelt]

Je mag max een uur vertraging hebben

Met een uur vertraging kun je nog ice naar erfurt

Pak je het laatste deel mee

[rain nimbus]

we komen er hoe dan ook

maar zou jammer zijn als we een suffe ice hebben

[mental thistle]

Geldt dit als #non-english ?

[tranquil smelt]

1555 is wel vroege aankomst

[tranquil smelt]

nee

[mental thistle]

[rain nimbus]

ik ga hier geen stoel voor reserveren

[tranquil smelt]

Gast dit is sinas lore

[mental thistle]

but actual sechsstundentakt

so also in the night

[rain nimbus]

nee

er zijn 6 ritten per dag

3 richting het westen, 3 richting het oosten

[mental thistle]

zou 8 moeten zijn

[rain nimbus]

van die 6 doen er slechts 3 de hele lijn

[tranquil smelt]

Ja met de ice kun je nog naar erfurt om dezelfde ic pakken

Gebrekkig nederlands van de omroeper

Thalys getting uglier and uglier over the years

[rain nimbus]

maar keulen-dusseldorf is niet een essentieel onderdeel van de ic gera

[tranquil smelt]

Vanaf kassel gaat het hard

[mental thistle]

mw41

[tranquil smelt]

Unlikely these days

[frail flower]

stupid question, why is binche train an ic... thats the least ic ic of belgium

[tranquil smelt]

No but desiro on brussel - antwerpen is technically even stupider than klassiek on turnhout - binche

Because brussel - antwerpen is actually busy

[frail flower]

but schaarbeek-binche being an IC in first place is just dumb

Desiro is just IC stock according nmbs.

[tranquil smelt]

We need to reinvent nmbs

[frail flower]

No.. just shutdown nmbs and have SNCF run it.

imagine TER barabnt-Wallon

TER Flandres-Ouest.
